On Friday, December 20, 2024, the hosts will try to continue their incredible rise and remain in first place in the Bundesliga 2. Our experts have analyzed both teams and prepared prediction for the Elversberg vs Schalke 04 match.
SV Elversberg vs FC Schalke 04: What to Expect
SV 07 Elversberg
The team that won the 3. Liga a year and a half ago is now leading the Bundesliga 2. The team has only themselves to thank for these results, as they have won four times in their last five Elversberg matches, as many as they have had since the beginning of the season.
The game between SV Elversberg vs Schalke 04 was preceded by victories against Hannover (3:1), Fortuna (0:2), a defeat against Paderborn (1:3), and two more victories against Nürnberg (2:1) and Braunschweig (0:3).
Currently, Elversberg leads Bundesliga 2, so two other teams have the same number of points. FC Köln and Paderborn were expected to be in these positions, but Elversberg was not.
FC Schalke 04
Schalke is struggling to get out of the relegation zone. The team concedes many goals but relies on attacking, which leads to a sensational victory against Paderborn (2:4) on the road.
A game against Fortuna, another representative of the top 5, preceded the match between SV Elversberg and FC Schalke 04. However, Schalke managed to get out of this one, snatching a draw in the 72nd minute and gaining another point.
In general, the team from Gelsenkirchen has an interesting trend when the team takes points from the leaders of 2. Bundesliga but loses to lower teams. The Elversberg – Schalke match will be against the championship leader, so we’re waiting for the interesting battle.
